OUR JOURNEY
Our journey beginnings in 2012 First Swing started with 1 large all ages bag of SNAG® equipment from the USA, a handful of happy people, and a coach with a passion for his beloved game of Golf. That coach, Jay Simpson is still the driving force behind First Swing today.
Jay is not only a Director and coach, but also a husband to wife Michelle and a Dad to son Oscar (who can already master the chip shot).
At First Swing we have a great team to help us coach thousands of happy kids throughout Queensland.
Our team of enthusiastic coaches and our very own admin caddies who provide support for everything we do to keep First Swing running smoothly.
At First Swing it’s not all about swinging it like Scotty or scoring like Tiger, it’s about providing an inclusive, play-based, learning environment that lays the foundation for a happy and healthy life for our community.
In the years we’ve come a long way but have never lost that passion for golf and fun, nor the drive to make First Swing as good as it can be for each and every person.
